Panaji, Jan 11: Actress-turned BJP-leader Smriti Irani has said that former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has been taken back into the saffron party to strengthen it ahead of the Lok Sabha election.

Irani is in Goa to oversee preparations for the Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally Sunday.

"Whatever needs to be done to strengthen the party will be done," Irani told the media, when asked why a leader indicted in scandals has been taken back into the party.

Yeddyurappa, a leader of the powerful Lingayat community, quit the BJP ahead of the last assembly polls after he was dropped as chief minister by the BJP amid charges of corruption.

It could be recalled here that scam-tainted Yeddyurappa had formed Karnataka Janata Party in protest against BJP's decision to not to continue him as the chief minister of Karnataka.

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Several ministers staying at the Bengaluru resort had been emotionally pressurised to leave the Congress party, said Congress leader Jitu Patwari on Thursday after he was rescued by party leader DK Shivakumar from getting arrested due to the scuffle that had broken out at Embassy Boulevard here.

"We had received information that one of the MLAs, Manoj Chaudhary, staying at the Boulevard wanted his father to bring him back home," Patwari told reporters.

He said, "We had accompanied Manoj's father to the resort but the moment we entered the restaurant at the resort, some miscreants took away Manoj to some other unknown place," Patwari told reporters.

"Meanwhile, we (Lakhan Singh and Jitu Patwari) were manhandled and taken to the police station," he added.

Patwari said that the police had started the process of arresting them but Shivakumar came to their rescue and stopped their arrest.

He further said, "The police manhandled us even though we tried to talk to them in a very calm manner."

"If the MLAs giving resignation was their decision then why is the BJP not allowing them to contact their families," the MP said.

He further said that Jyotiraditya Scindia would soon become a minister but "why are the other ministers being made scapegoats."

Earlier in the day, a Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh had said that if action on the assaulters of its two leaders is not taken then the matter will be taken to the court.
